My next car is going to be set up with full drift suspension.. as my rx7 drifted well but was always too soft... so anyway how does this all sound?

Fully adjustable coil overs with Koni inserts 8.0 Kgcm spring rate

Front and rear upgraded bars

New bushes throughout

Adjustable Castor rods

Adjustable Camber tops

Strut brace in engine bay

any one got any idea's and opinions on their on personal drift set ups... like camber and castor.. which is more important for drift?

Hey Simon,you should know most of that stuff anyway.

Hmmm,have you seen the light and buying a NISSAN? :burnout: :lol:

Ive setup my car for the hills but aint much different for drift except the arse end.I went to a coilover setup with all the bushes and stab. bars and damn its changed my cars handling.I was chasing Danny(u know who) through (u know where) going at a pace i just couldnt get my arse out as wide and for as long cause of new 255 rears hooking up at that speed (standard motor aswell) but the control was rock solid.Chain of Ponds,Gorge,Eagle on the Hill are a dream to drive with good suspension setup.

You cant go wrong with all that susp. gear.

Matt

p.s.I`m a peeper most of the time:p :lol:

hahaha u peeping tom :( how ya doing matt?

yes im buying a nissan... not quite a latemodel one either :) tis a bit shush shush for now, going to be powered by either an Rb20det or an Rb25det depends on how rich im feeling at the time..

the above suspension is setting me back 3K for everything... i want it to sit flat and be fully controlable when drifting :)

Matt: sweet.. thats the kind of ride i want.. u NEED to feel every bump etc on the road to get the best feedback.

heh.. thought about the rota/nissan combo but im after budget [performance meaning getting a a car that a motor will drop striaght in no worries.

yeah i'll miss the rotor... but hey.. i can always get another one... and the way i look at it RB series motors are kinda like rotors anyway... bugger all down low... pulls like a mofo over 4K rpm and revs like a rotor :D heh :D :D

It corners great at the right speed but drop the clutch or past that magic apex speed and its a drifting time.I'll be at the gold coast the week of autosalon so if your keen I'd just about garantee they will still be on the car and I'll be at the broadwater carpark or I'll give you my no.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
